Michael Bridgeman was in the Wright place at the right time in Madison, WI recently. He was able to snap two photos of Frank Lloyd Wright's Lamp House that show the rear (southwest) facade that has been exposed by the demolition of four houses to make way for a new apartment building that takes into account a special area plan adopted earlier this year by the city of Madison. These houses were in place when Robert Lamp built his house in the middle of a block near the state capitol, so this is a view that was never really anticipated—and will disappear when the new building rises on this site. Thanks Michael for the pics!
